EGDR909 - 909 Drum Machine

Can't even do the most simplest thing like step record a drumbeat like original 909. Worthless app.

Buttons are missing and save setting buttons do not work. Reinstalled same result. Conclusion broken do not buy.

I have the 808 EG app. Which I believe sounds fantastic. 4 or 5 stars there. Strangely this is way different toy. In comparison this app sounds like it has a low pass filter on it or the samples are very weak. No fun.

I spent Sunday and Saturday of this past weekend working on 24 percussion tracks I could play with bass, synth, and guitar. I was very happy with the sound so far. I saved frequently.<br/><br/>I have no idea what I hit, but the 909 switched into instrument mode, reset to the original template beats, and overwrote my m music for with the template beats.<br/><br/>I'm sticking with Logic Pro from here on out. These apps are novelty only.

I was really hoping that the low review from the other party was just a fluke however I just purchased this wanting to have something like an old 909 and I find that the right third of the machine is not showing any buttons on my iPhone 6. Not happy with this at all however I am curious if the developer can fix this. If not, I just wasted $3.99. If the developer contacts me I can fix this, I’ll look at changing the rating.<br/><br/>Update: I’ve been playing around with this app and got it working to I could actually see what I could do and I was very impressed. I was still having problems however the developer responded and is aware of the issues and looking at getting them all fixed. That being said, I find this a great little app to re-create that 909 sound. I thank the developer for responding and listening to the reviews and working on improving the app.

Wors app I've ever seen

Like it's sibling EDGR808, EDGR909 offers an &quot;authentic&quot; Roland TR-909 experience on your iPad, for better or worse. While many drum apps take vintage 909 sounds and repurpose them with a modern step sequencer, EGDR909 (like its competitor Boom!909) aims to reproduce the same interface you'd get on an actual 909.<br/><br/>While the app sounds good, the issue is that the TR-909 isn't exactly user-friendly. The machine asks you to program pretty much everything using the 16 step keys along the bottom, plus some other combination of &quot;shift&quot; and &quot;instrument&quot; key modifiers. While I picked up on it quickly with EGDR808, I struggled with this app. More experienced users may have no problem, but it's a fair warning to some.<br/><br/>One thing I appreciate about the EGDR series is the full tonal flexibility it offers. So you have pitch, decay, and snappy controls for your instruments, and it sounds very convincing. I do believe the app works well with both AudioBus and IAA, but I wish it was a little friendlier about exporting loops via AudioCopy. You can't export a measure-sized loop (that I can find), but rather use the record feature and then export that loop through the file management screen. Also, not sure why EGDR808 was universal, but this app is not (maybe later). But at this price, there's little to regret.

Sounds great, but the user interface is a. It challenging, and it KILLED my battery while running in the background.
